This is a very sad love song about remorse and regret for the misdeeds of the singer, and the rhythm/melody almost perfectly captures that sadness. I love the way the violins, the flute, and the drums all come together to create a very melancholy but also romantic tune that you can almost dance to.
Keremcem's voice is also, I think, perfect for this type of song. It is soft and endearing and really captures the emotions well. This is a great song to doze off to, especially someone like me who doesn't understand the exact meaning but knows what it is about. Listening to this song is almost trance-like... Hope you enjoy!
ENGLISH LYRICS:
I put a letter in your pocket
I had no courage to look into your eyes
I said bad things but I didn't mean any of them
I wish that I could take those words back
You were saying that words fly but the writing stays
Like you know, don't care about my words
You were saying that the main thing is love my babe
The other things are nothing.
Did you find the letter or did you just throw it away?
If one day you come around, just come and look at me
And see how I'm full of regret and that I'm burned
Everything is terrible
Tell me what there is still from us
You were saying that words fly but the writing stays
Like you know, don't care about my words
You were saying that the main thing is love my babe
The other things are nothing.
If one day you come around, just come and look at me
And see how I'm full of regret and that I'm burned
Everything is terrible.
If one day you come around, just come and look at me
And see how I'm full of regret and that I'm burned
Everything is terrible.
TURKISH LYRICS:
Bir mektup koydum ceketinin cebine
Cesaretim yoktu bakmaya gözlerine
Kötü sözler söyledim çoğunu kastetmedim
Alabilmek isterdim hepsini geriye
Hani derdin ya söz uçar yazı kalır diye
Sen de bakma benim sözlerime
Hani derdin ya aslolan aşktır gülüm diye
Gerisi hikaye
Yolun düşerse gel de bir bak
Nasıl pişmanım yandım heyhat
İki dirhem bir çekirdek
Halime bakma her şey berbat
Yolun düşerse gel de bir bak
Nasıl pişmanım yandım heyhat
İki dirhem bir çekirdek
Halime bakma her şey berbat
Mektubu buldun mu yoksa yırtıp attın mı
Söyle ne kaldı bizden geriye
Hani derdin ya söz uçar yazı kalır diye
Sen de bakma benim sözlerime
Hani derdin ya aslolan aşktır gülüm diye
Gerisi hikaye
Yolun düşerse gel de bir bak
Nasıl pişmanım yandım heyhat
İki dirhem bir çekirdek
Halime bakma her şey berbat
Yolun düşerse gel de bir bak
Nasıl pişmanım yandım heyhat
İki dirhem bir çekirdek
Halime bakma her şey berbat
